Does anyone know how this applies under New Zealand Law? For example for tickets purchased and issued by Virgin Australian Christchurch NZL merchant processing?
I was looking at my New Zealand Westpac MasterCard, according to there website. You can claim back 30 days from the statement issued for that transaction, problem being with an Airline you off the make the payment months before you were to get the service.
Ive got an AKL-BNE-DPS trip that was planned for this Monday, VA obviously canceled the flights. But would only offer an travel credit, even though they are very unlikely to be able to ever be used by some based in New Zealand.
